ABSTRACT

This paper is premised on case method of teaching used to improve college student understanding of English for mechanical engineering. The approach to the case method is hermeneutic phenomenology as stated by Martin Heidegger to interpret experiences of college students in order to solve the case in the form of reliable questions about English for mechanical engineering which is less familiar than English in general to them. The application of case method of teaching English for mechanical engineering by the English lecturer engaged the students in experiencing familiarity of mechanical engineering field, experiencing objective testing, experiencing multiple attempt-to-answer procedure, and experiencing long time allocation to problem-solving. Interpretation of the experiences by using the approach affirms the effectiveness of case method of teaching to improve college student understanding of English for mechanical engineering.
